Excluding the Purple Rain album what songs do you think would work really well in a Prince stage musical? I exclude Purple Rain because nearly all the songs on the album would work.

I'd say (to a name a few):

Strays of the World

Bob George

Wonderful Ass

Me Touch Myself

If I was Your Girlfriend

Adore

Kiss

A Place in Heaven

Any others?

The Morning After

All The Midnights In The World

Resolution

Graffitti Bridge

The Grand Progression

She Loves Me 4 Me

Strays of The World

Yeah, was going to include She Loves Me 4 Me. I'd also include Still Would Stand All Time.

Like Billboards the Joffrey Ballet...

Didn't know anything about that, that's interesting. I knew about Prince's own Glam Slam Ulysses, but I was thinking about a musical which had an actual sort of plot and not simply choreographed dancing/performing.
